2018 AL Governor's race: on Principles & Values
Walt Maddox:
Put the principles of people over those of the parties
"I've listened, and I've listened hard," Maddox said. "Our people want a governor with vision and integrity and energy. They want a leader they can have a cup of coffee with, and one that will represent Alabama with pride."
Maddox continued to push "Principles of people over parties, ideas over ideology and results over rhetoric." "To the people of Alabama, I believe I am that leader," he said.

Tommy Battle:
Conservative values from first job in his dad's restaurant
Tommy Battle has never been afraid of hard work. He was born in Birmingham and had his first job working in his dad's restaurant when I was 14. Tommy went to Berry High School and spent his summers working to pay for college. Shipyards in Mobile, ovens
in Birmingham, usually living in boarding houses.He took that work ethic with him to the University of Alabama. He studied business, served on the SGA, and Alabama's champion debate team--though It was in the Alabama Republican Party where he found
his passion for public service.
After college his first job was as manager of Britling on the Highland in Birmingham. He moved to Huntsville in 1980 and was elected to the city council in 1984, before being elected as Huntsville's mayor in 2008.
He was re-elected in 2012 and again in 2016, receiving more than 80% of the votes cast in both elections.
Everything Tommy has done in his life has been built on the conservative values he learned from his dad at that first job way back when.

Chris Countryman:
Protect churches but not in non-religious public services
Countryman said he would push legislation prohibiting discrimination in a public setting. "We need to start implementing legislation that would protect churches and religious leaders within the confines of their respective homes and
churches while still ensuring that any citizen is not discriminated against in a public setting or where non-religious public services are rendered," Countryman said.
